(Construction of a new traffic signal on La Palma Avenue, west of Imperial Highway, at the location of the entrance driveways to the Cinemapolis theaters and the Imperial Promenade shopping center.) Mr. Charles Cintron spoke on the first Consent Calendar item noting that he has two Togo's in the Anaheim Hills area. Imperial Highway and La Palma is an extremely heavily traveled area with many serious accidents. It is only going to get worse as businesses recover and office space is re-leased on La Palma. With property owners picking up 75% of the cost of the proposed signal, this is an effective way for the City to stem injuries at that corner. He is in support.

Potential uses for the Downtown Community Center include a Senior Citizens Center, City Human Services Programs, City Gymnasium, Arts Center, YMCA, and Boys and Girls Club. Submitted was report dated January 10, 1995 from the Community Development Department recommending adoption of the proposed resolution for the Council and the Agency. PUBLIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS MET BY: Publication North County News - 12/27/1994 and 1/3/1995 Published Mitigated Negative Declaration - 12/21/1994 Lisa Stipkovich, Executive Director of Community Development. She briefed the subject report which explained the recommendation in detail and in concluding note that the Agency/Council would be reviewing all bid documents, construction drawings and concept plans as they did with all Redevelopment Agency projects. This sets up the relationship between the City and the Redevelopment Agency and authorizes the Agency to be the entity to both design and develop the building and also identifies various funding sources that the City would commit including block grant funds as well as Park and Recreation fees and any other fees the City would determine through budgetary authority to put into the project. Mrs. Stipkovich then commented on a question raised earlier by Council/Agency Member Feldhaus relative to one of the funding mechanisms being Agency bond funds and if they would be affected by the situation in the County. The report does state that the bond funds that Redevelopment will be using are necessary in order for the project to be completed and whether the bond funds in the County Pool will still be available. Luckily, there was a larger chunk of bond funds in a State Pool and in a separate account so they do have sufficient bond proceeds to cover the proposed amount for the project, the $3,000,000. Relative to county grant funds, those have not been committed and 95-2 Anahe£m C~v£c ten,err ANAm~iM I~D~P~ AGENCY ~ANUARY 10, 1995r 5:00 P.N. the agreement allows if in the future they were to get those funds, they could be allocated to the project. Chairman/Mayor Daly. He asked if the action tonight set limits on the size of the project or any of the funding potentials for the project. Lisa Stipkovich. It does to the extent they have attached the proposed phasing plan which they have already approved and the proposed budget for phase one. To that extent, the money is an upper limit which will be adequate. If not, they will come back and ask the Agency/City to amend the co-op agreement. If it is City dollars going into the co-op agreement, it does allow for some of that to occur just by their budgetary authority. It is only the expenditure of Redevelopment money that requires the public hearing. Chairman/Mayor Daly asked the next step in the sequence after this evening's public hearing if City Council decides to forgo the co-op agreement between the City and the Agency? Lisa Stipkovich. The architect is starting the design process. The next step would be for concept plans to be submitted to the Agency for review along with the budget. They anticipate bringing the next item forward in approximately 60 days. She also confirmed for Council/Agency Member Lopez that there will be minimal spectator space to watch basketball games or other events but that is not yet finalized. After talking with various groups, this could be modified. There is no final design as yet. Chairman/Mayor Daly opened the public hearing and asked to hear from anyone who wished to speak; there being no response he closed the public hearing.
